What happens

Doraha (Urdu: دوراہا, lit. 'Crossroads') is a 1967 Pakistani musical romance film written by Syed Ahmed Rifat and directed by Pervaiz Malik. It starred Waheed Murad and Shamim Ara, with Deeba, Talish and Ibrahim Nafees in the supporting cast. The film became remarkable due to its music, which was composed by Sohail Rana. It was co-produced by Malik and Rana under the banner United Talents. At the box office, the film failed to become a big hit, as it was expected, but it gained more importance after several years, especially during the 1980s and 1990s due to its music and songs.
